I can't help but notice media on Fox owner Rupert Murdoch news scandal and Michelle Bachmann position on homosexuality.? I'm not usually one to say "well why are not to focus you on problem X", but I'll make an exception.? We have now a definitive evidence that our country education system is to be a disaster, has created massive disincentives for teachers and administrators or is based on a false premise that all cohorts of students have created both and, thus, should have similar results.? We knew everyone in Atlanta, and D.C.? But have you heard of Philadelphia?? Baltimore?? And did you hear about Chicago?
A reader sent me a link to articles about Chicago urban prep academy , which has been praised by various Web sites for its rate of 100% degree "miraculous" among the male students black low income.? The root, huffington Post, CNNand MSNBC reported on the implementation of the Charter School.? Urban Prep is not accused of cheating on the State of the tests of achievement in the same manner of Atlanta schools, but their number of self-reported graduation is viewed as examples of standards relaxed or self-promoting graduation shamelessly to obtain the attention and money.
The urban Prep strategy is based on the black male students that notion should be taught mostly by race men black and giving great difficulty must be taken to keep the students on the right path. The school has revived the segregation - racist and sexually-, but he is hailed as a progressive institution precisely because Blacks have decided to separate.? The funny thing is that, when white said a similar thing, several decades ago, and when they passed "separate but equal" clauses - they were seen as racist.
Success of the Secretary of education Arne Duncan boasted urban Prep in a speech to the Urban League:
In Chicago, we replaced a school where only four percent of the new student entrants were at the school level and 60% never graduate - with urban Prep, a man, all blacks Charter high school.
Their success was national news. They have just graduated their first class - 107 students - 107 graduates - and 107 for universities and colleges in four years. This is what happens when we raise expectations.
Except, as Diane Ravitch has pointed out in an urban New York Times op - ed a few months students the Prep registered miserably on school performance tests.? In addition, the figure of 107 graduation is misleading.? The first year of graduating seniors 107 class began with 166 students.? Urban Prep was dismissed off the coast of its weaker students or he allowed them to return to public schools where they have floundered and has suffered the fate that urban Prep was intended to save of likely.
Paul Tough points out in an another NYT op - ed, the whole point of the Charter School needed to improve the education of its students.? But a success rate of 17% state examination and a 100% graduation and College attendance rates are not.? Urban Prep studentsaverage act score was 16 - terrible - but slightly favourably compares to all students of the school of Chicago Public system that on average a score of 15.? This speaks poorly of the colleges that accept students of poor quality or the school of the Charter that pushes its students through graduation with bad education.
It is not to say that urban Prep or all Charter schools are bad, but it's always nice to keep reports on glossy background.? The miracle of urban Prep was hailed as proof that black students can achieve if the obstacles to their realization are removed.
Even if the directors of the urban Prep is not cheating in the same way that Atlanta and the directors of Philly, the point is that the system requires of course teachers and administrators to release the place around where they can.? Urban Prep as a new Charter and an experience infused with hope and change, there is pressure to churn out of graduates.? The school is motivated to boost its graduation rate.? Just as in Atlanta or Philly, administrators and teachers have been encouraged to stimulate the performance test.? These gains may come on either the hard way - by better education and better learning - or it may come by means multiple - relaxation of standards or outrageous cheating.
